A nearly perfect package

Reviewed in Canada on 1 November 2021

The media could not be loaded.

I'm an owner of an old Lexus GS350 2007, and over the years it's developed a parasitic power drain that threatens to completely drain my car's battery to the point where it's incapable of even flashing a small indicator light. It's the bad kind of dead, probably just a few step from permanently dead if I just neglect it a bit more.

I can't keep on troubling friends and family, nor can I ever count on a good samaritan there to help jump start my car. I've had bad experiences with Motormaster's car boosters before, so I was definitely gun shy with NOCO's Boost X GBX75.

I knew I needed something that can go above and beyond, my car battery is often going to be in that state, so I opted to go for the GBX75's 2500A model, it borderlines ridiculous.

The good news is that NOCO's Boost X GBX75 did the job, although I had to activate the override to provide the absurd amount of juice needed to revive my car, but sure enough it did the trick.

So why the 4 star instead of 5? That's because of the accessory that should have been included with the NOCO Boost X GBX75. Something of this price point should have also included the charging adapter.

There's so many chargers out there as well, the lower performing ones that delivers 2.5W charger rating can take as long as 40 hours to recharge from 0 to 100%! 5W decreases the recharging time to 20 hours. 10W drops it to 10 hours. This product is capable of fast charging using the USB PD3.0 protocol, delivering 60W for 1.7 hours of charge time.

Very few people know about what adapters to get. Some people might think they're getting a 60W adapter, but in reality it's a marketing trick where one port delivers 45W while the second delivers the remaining 15W. That's a lot to learn, and honestly I don't think there's enough people out there willing to go through the process of figuring out which charger to get and some that do might still make mistakes. That's a VERY frustrating experience. NOCO shouldn't be nickel and diming its customers like this. Include the power charger adapter in the future, take the guess work and margin of mistakes out of the equation for your customers, please. It's a great product, but it could've been a perfect one.

For other people who might not be car tech savvy. Here's what I learned that I hope I can pass on to you.

When they say that this product will only work on lead acid batteries, don't freak out if your car battery is AGM. AGM is still a lead acid-based battery, it's just the design inside is different that's all, it'll work just fine.

When looking for a charger adapter, pay careful attention to several areas:

- How much watts it is able to put out, and more importantly, can one of the ports be capable of pumping out 60W, or was it a clever marketing gimmick words tricking people when in reality no one port actually delivers 60W, and it's actually two or more ports that totals up to 60W.

- Make sure that your adapter is actually capable of USB certified Power Delivery 3.0. It's often short-formed as PD3.0. The USB-C chargers is in a wild west territory, with some products out there not actually truly certified for PD3.0 standards. They just say they can do it, but they're not certified for it so it might not really be able to do what the manufacturer claims it can.

- I used my Pixel 3a charger adapter to charge this product. It was the only adapter that could supply the highest wattage that I can find in my house. Pay attention to what USB-C adapters you have, the ones that powers your phones, laptop, or tablet just might be able to do the job. You might not need to shell out $40+ for a new adapter if you can tolerate a 10 hour wait.

I'll probably update this review during the winter. I suspect I'll have more dead battery issues by then, and given the colder weather it'll definitely challenge this product even more.

Hopefully this review and the lessons I learned will help guide your own journeys. The product isn't bad, not by a long shot, it just falls short from a perfect package because NOCO decided to cheap out and not include a charging adapter and leaving it to their customers to fumble around finding what works. That's not going to leave a good impression for the customers, and if they screw up and get a cheap adapter that has horrible recharge time then they just might associate that failure with the product. This kind of nickel and diming isn't worth it, NOCO!

Decent

Overall, I like it. Can it be better, absolutely. For instance, it does not come with a power adapter, just the usb to usb-c cord. For over $350, you’d think that adding a $5-10 item to complete the product would be common sense. Also, it would have been nice to have an actual lcd screen, like the booster pack that I replaced with this one. Let’s just hope that it will last for years to come.

Update: I thought my item was defective, as I attempted to charge it, and after 4 hours, it still flashed on the second bar (which it started at), with no step up. It even stopped charging for a moment and flashed one bar, until I unplugged and re-plugged back into a power source. In an effort to troubleshoot, I switched power adapters (from 15W) to my laptop adapter which runs on 60W. This immediately changed things, bringing the device to full charge in approx. 1.5hrs. All of this could have been avoided, had the manufacturer simply included the 60W adapter.

This booster did exactly what I needed. I will say that at this price point, I expected more durable feeling plastic. The tabs the clamps go into feel as though they probably won’t stand the rest of time. This sharp metal teeth biting in. I think if this were priced $50-$100 less, I would feel more content with the purchase.

Aparentemente rebosa calidad y simpleza de funcionamiento. El equipo viene con carga parcial, y es una pena que por el precio que tiene, no venga con un cargador al menos semirapido. Después de dos arranques baja considerablemente el nivel de reserva de acumulación.

Very solid portable jump starter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2021

This jump starter is an absolute must for anyone that does a lot of driving. Gone are the days where you would have to have a massive power bank in the boot just in case you needed a jump start. This is super simple to use. You just connect the red and black clips to the appropriate side of your battery press the on button and then go and start your vehicle! This is good for petrol vehicles up to 8.5 ltr or diesel up to 6.5 ltr so is good for some pretty big engines. It’s fast to charge up with the USB C lead and you can also use this as a power bank to charge up electronics. There’s also a light on it if needed.
The only negative I have found is that it comes with a really flimsy cloth bag to put it in, for something that this price it really should come with a solid protective case. I am in the process of making a 3D printed case for it so it doesn’t get ruined in the boot of my car.

Avviatore d'emergenza per grosse cilindrate: la nostra autovettura è in mani sicure

Reviewed in Italy on 23 July 2021

•Il modello GBX75 arriva all'interno di una confezione in cartoncino con il logo della marca, ben imballato attraverso strati in carta e spugna espansa. È prodotto dalla Noco, un'azienda che si occupa di accessori per elettronica di autovetture.

•Oltre all'avviatore è presente il cavo di ricarica, i cavi con i morsetti, un adattatore per accendisigari, il manuale di istruzioni ed un'elegante custodia in velluto in cui riporre il tutto; non è invece presente il caricabatterie che va acquistato separatamente, anche se possono comunque essere utilizzati i classici caricatori USB a muro con ricarica veloce per smartphone.

•Il dispositivo ha dimensioni leggermente inferiori rispetto alla media se paragonato a modelli omologhi: misura 22 cm di lunghezza per 14 cm di larghezza per 6,5 cm di spessore, con un peso complessivo di circa 1,2 Kg. Tenuto in mano risulta dunque piuttosto leggero e compatto ed il feedback è stato positivo.

•I materiali utilizzati per la scocca esterna ricadono nella plastica dura, che trasmette solidità al tatto. Ho apprezzato la scelta di utilizzare uno stile moderno grazie ai caratteri e ai loghi accattivanti e alle forme squadrate in generale, che danno un tocco sportivo e giovanile allo stesso tempo.

•L'avviatore è stato progettato per occupare poco spazio e fornire un sostegno multiplo per ogni tipo di batteria: grazie ai cavi con morsetto in dotazione, è possibile ricaricare la batteria della nostra vettura in maniera semplice e sicura. Ma il dispositivo può essere utilizzato all'occorrenza anche come Power bank grazie alla presa USB e USB type C poste nella parte posteriore, protette da un sistema di linguette in gomma. L'autonomia è ottima in quanto la capacità massima ammonta a 74 Wh, di conseguenza non avremo problemi a ricaricare diversi cellulari dalla batteria capiente. È inoltre provvisto di tecnologia di ricarica rapida a 60 watt, di conseguenza supporta gli standard di ultima generazione per quei dispositivi che ne sono dotati.

•La funzione principale è quella di avviatore d'emergenza o di caricatore di batteria d'auto. Ciò è reso possibile grazie alla batteria interna da 12 Volt con scarica massima di 2500 A, che di fatto garantisce compatibilità con motori diesel fino a 6,5 litri di cilindrata e benzina fino a 8,5 litri. Possiedo un veicolo diesel da 2 litri di cilindrata con batteria da 75 ampere e non ho riscontrato alcun problema durante l'utilizzo.
Per il corretto funzionamento è necessario collegare i cavi con i morsetti alla porta anteriore dell'avviatore, a questo punto i morsetti devono essere attaccati ai poli positivo e negativo della batteria della macchina. Deve essere dunque avviato il dispositivo tramite l'apposito tasto di accensione e successivamente acceso il veicolo entro 60 secondi. Il motore dell'auto sarà dunque partito e sarà possibile spegnere l'avviatore cliccando sul tasto precedentemente descritto.
È presente anche la modalità "Boost" che fornisce alla batteria una carica sufficiente in appena 5 minuti o una carica completa in circa 100 minuti; queste tempistiche sono state rispettate con la batteria di auto di grossa cilindrata che possediamo in famiglia e non abbiamo riscontrato alcun problema.

•Grazie al sistema chiamato "UltraSafe 2.0" viene garantita protezione dall'inversione di polarità in caso di errore nel posizionamento dei morsetti, caratteristica che reputo fondamentale in quanto a sicurezza con un dispositivo di questo tipo.

•Nella parte anteriore sono presenti dei LED che permettono all'avviatore di funzionare come torcia di emergenza. L'intensità luminosa di 400 lumen ci consente di illuminare la nostra autovettura in maniera efficace nel raggio di circa 4 metri. Sono inoltre disponibili modalità fisse o lampeggianti ad intermittenza, ideali per segnalare un fermo improvviso o un guasto nelle ore notturne o in condizioni di pioggia. Il tutto è regolabile tramite un pulsante posto nella parte superiore, che inoltre regola l'accensione o lo spegnimento.

•È dotato di certificazione IP65, che garantisce protezione totale alla penetrazione di corpi solidi, di liquidi da gocce, vapori, spruzzi e getti d'acqua in qualsiasi direzione, di conseguenza è in grado di resistere alle intemperie senza danneggiarsi.

•Importante menzionare anche la certificazione CE, FCC e RoHS, che istituisce norme riguardanti la restrizione all'uso di sostanze pericolose nelle apparecchiature.

•Il prezzo del prodotto riferito a giugno 2021 è di 280,95 Euro, una cifra un po' alta che tutto sommato reputo congrua in rapporto al contenuto e alla qualità percepita, ancor più tenendo in considerazione le molteplici funzionalità di cui è dotato.

RIASSUMENDO
Prodotto in sé: 5
Prezzo: 3,5
Rapporto qualità-prezzo: 4+

•In base a quanto scritto nelle righe soprastanti reputo corretta una valutazione di 4 stelle su 5. L'avviatore si è dimostrato preciso e funzionale e garantisce un supporto fondamentale quando si riscontrano problemi con la batteria della nostra autovettura. La cifra richiesta non rientra nella categoria economica, ma penso che in questi casi l'affidabilità nei momenti di difficoltà sia qualcosa che non ha prezzo.

Cerco sempre di essere oggettivo nelle recensioni che vado a effettuare tramite il programma Amazon Vine. Se hai domande non esitare a contattarmi e, se ti va e la mia recensione ti è stata utile, puoi lasciare un feedback. Alla prossima!

Kompakter, leichter Stromlieferant – aber das Netzteil fehlt

Reviewed in Germany on 3 July 2021

Der Noco Boost X GBX75 (was für ein Name) ist ein Starthilfebooster für Fahrzeuge. Laut Angabe des Herstellers können damit Benzinmotoren bis 8,5 L Hubraum und Dieselmotoren bis 6,5 L Hubraum gestartet werden. Das sollte für die meisten Autofahrer incl. Liebhaber amerikanischer Fahrzeuge ausreichend sein. Leider habe ich keinen K30 mit einem 6,2 L Diesel als richtigen Härtetest. Aber ich habe den Booster am 70er Jahre Traktor mit 3 Zylinder und 2,4 L Hubraum sowie am 5 Zylinder 3,2 L Diesel Pickup getestet. Beide konnten problemlos gestartet werden. Beeindruckt hat mich insbesondere der Start des alten Perkins (Traktor-) Motors. Nach wochenlangem Stand in der kalten Garage benötigt der Anlasser normalerweise immer einige Umdrehungen. Mit dem Noco Booster sprang er sofort an. So kraftvoll habe ich den Anlasser noch nie drehen hören. Der Booster war nach beiden Starthilfeaktionen noch immer grün geladen. Natürlich besitzt das Gerät auch einen Verpolungsschutz, so dass auch bei einem falschen Anschluss kein Schaden entsteht. Die Verbindungskabel sind stark genug, so dass man großvolumigen Diesel Motoren gefahrlos Starthilfe geben kann (AWG 6 sind ein Querschnitt von 13,3mm² bzw. entsprechen ~16mm² als Äquivalent).

Der GBX75 bietet auch zwei USB Ausgänge. Einen „USB Out“ mit USB-A Anschlussbuchse (10 W Belastbarkeit) und einen „USB In/Out“ mit USB-C Anschlussbuchse (60 W Belastbarkeit). Über den USB In/Out kann beispielsweise ein Smartphone per Schnelladefunktion geladen werden, sofern man das richtige Verbindungskabel besitzt (s. Foto) oder auch der Booster selbst schnell geladen werden.

Laden des Geräts:
ACHTUNG: Zum Schnellladen des Boosters muss jedoch separat ein 60W Netzteil nebst passendem USB-C Kabel gekauft werden. Ein solches Netzteil ist NICHT im Lieferumfang des Noco Boost X enthalten. Ich habe ein solches Netzteil und konnte damit den Booster in 45-50 Minuten von der werksseitigen ~50% Ladung auf volle Ladung bringen. Wer so ein Netzteil nicht besitzt, der kann sich bei der ersten Ladung über den mitgelieferten Adapter vom Zigarettenanzünder auf USB-C behelfen. Laut Handbuch soll auch damit eine schnelle Ladung des Boosters möglich sein. Über ein normales, schwächeres Netzteil verlängert sich eine Ladung auf mehrere Stunden (im schlechtesten Fall bis zu 40(!) Stunden lt. Handbuch – s. den Scan dazu im Anhang).
Als weiteres Gimmick besitzt der GBX75 eine Leuchtenfunktion. Diese kann entweder als Dauerlicht geschalten werden, oder als Blinkleuchte, um im Gefahrenfall auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Im Winter oder einfach Nachts durchaus praktisch.

Fazit:
Ich empfinde den Booster mit seinen Funktionen als unverzichtbares Helferlein im Auto. Denn egal ob die Batterie schlapp macht, oder ob einfach nur das nicht geladene Smartphone den helfenden Anruf verhindert – mit dem Noco Booster ist man gewappnet. Ein Wermutstropfen ist jedoch, dass weder ein USB C auf USB C Kabel zur Schnellladung eines Smartphones enthalten ist, noch ein passendes Schnelllade Netzteil. Beim Preis des Noco Boost X GBX75 hätte ich das erwartet. Dafür gibt es dann auch einen Stern abgezogen, ich denke das ist durchaus gerechtfertigt.
